Selfish Love Lyrics in English by Selena Gomez, DJ Snake
Celos is the Spanish word for "jealousy". It's a powerful emotion that is central to the theme of this bilingual track.
Unlike most songs where jealousy is portrayed as a negative feeling, "Selfish Love" presents it as a playful and exciting game between two lovers. Selena sings, "Tú quieres darme celos" (You want to make me jealous), and later admits, "Me gusta darte celos" (I like making you jealous), revealing that this dynamic is part of their unique and thrilling connection.
Ever played mind games with someone just to see them sweat? That is the exact vibe Selena Gomez and DJ Snake bring here. In "Selfish Love," trust takes a backseat to a teasing back-and-forth game where both sides actually enjoy making each other jealous. Selena spots her partner talking to another girl—"Hablas con otra que no soy yo" ("You talk to someone else who isn't me")—and instead of walking away, it sparks her desire to pull him closer: "Baby, me dan ganas de tenerte" ("Baby, it makes me want to have you"). It is a little petty, sure, but she admits it straight up: "All this time and we still got that selfish love."
The best part is how bilingual the drama gets, flipping effortlessly between English and Spanish to keep score. She teases him to step up in public with "Ven marca tu territorio" ("Come mark your territory"), treating jealousy like a mutual sport rather than a red flag. When she sings "Es un juego que queda entre tú y yo" ("It's a game that stays between you and me"), she owns the thrill of the chase. She even admits she gets a kick out of turning the tables later on, smiling through lines like "Me gusta darte celos" ("I like making you jealous"). It is playful, possessive, and fun to sing along with.
